"...featuring pianist Joe Rotondi and bassist Eddie Resto, a host of all-star percussionists, as well as a love for Latin folkloric music. He doesn't need any classical references and orchestral swells to create drama. Quintero can do the radio-friendly pop-flamenco thing as well as anyone, loping along casually on the tropical flavored cruise "El Pueblo," but unlike Liebert, challenges himself and Rotondi to jet off course and toss off a couple of be-bop licks. More in character with Quintero's potential, however, are more polyrhythmic hybrid excursions like "Hermanos," which fuses fast and rumbling flamenco runs with folksy, twangy Country and Western sensibilities, and the irrepressible, bongo-happy quartet piece, "Little Indians," which perfectly blends straight ahead and pop flamenco flavors. Quintero also has a blast venturing into odd-metered, Avante Garde territory on the jumpy closer, "Porque Si."
